Roman Empire

The Roman Empire was an autocratic government that dominated Europe, North Africa, the Near East, and Britannia from 27 BC until it was divided in 330 AD between the Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire. The Roman Empire's first emperor was Augustus, the son of the late Julius Caesar, who founded the Pax Romana, which lasted until the reign of Marcus Aurelius. It eventually divided between the West and East after centuries of resisting invasions from Germania, the Parthian Empire, and swatting rebellions.

The Roman Empire was founded after the end of the war between the House of Brutii and the House of Julii in 27 BC, and the conquest of Egypt from Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Augustus became emperor, and during his reign, he defended his lands from Germans and Parthians, and consolidated his power. This was the cycle of Imperial rule, defending their lands from invaders.
